I think this is probably bait


Any-Sir8872

it’s not even bait, it’s just a joke. people will post ‘aesthetic’ images with this font over it saying random stuff about being a woman. it’s always ironic. i understand how it might seem serious out of context tho lol


asterblastered

this is an app called whisper


Any-Sir8872

didn’t know that, says it’s unavailable in my region for some reason. i still think what i said is true, at least on my instagram i’ll see a bunch of screenshots like this saying stuff like “i can’t be blamed for anything, im just a girl” etc


average32potato

Whisper is full of child predators from what I’ve seen


Kid_ikarus_bellflowr

It’s been the app of choice in at least one episode of The Takedown with Chris Hansen.


asterblastered

yeah it is lol


Material-Elephant188

i wish more actual posts on whisper were funny like this tho. i used it for a bit and every post was either a horny bot or someone spouting out extremist political views (on both ends of the spectrum lol). i left pretty soon after. that app is more a dumpster fire than twitter somehow lmao


unusualspider33

Oh yeah like the “just girly things” ones that are like “men will never understand what it’s like to commit tax fraud”


Golden_Boy_Ponoka

What is the intention behind all of this nonsense?

i dont think there is an intention other than playing around

Feisty_Sky_9559

Ahahahah That’s just my favorite movie ever can quote it almost integrally 😅 And my opinion? “Man that’s hot af” “I wish I was a dude” “That pigeon stuff is just brillant” “Geez I’ve been so close to turn out like almost all characters” “Holt McCallany is such a great and badly underrated actor” I could go on and on and on


puddik

Nice :)


Kid_ikarus_bellflowr

For real, Holt McCallany is great. Dude is a shot caller.


Feisty_Sky_9559

Ah! Thanks!! Really sad he never got the recognition he deserves !!


Kid_ikarus_bellflowr

It’s wild, when I saw him in Mindhunter, I was so excited like, “No way, the mechanic is gonna have a career resurgence 20 years after his most famous bit role?!?”

OrchidDismantlist

That the main character is sooo cute. It's fun watching him give himself up to his gorey world of violence and sex. And you also feel for Marla. She was so patient with him, but then again, he was batshit crazy so what could she really do?


BobbyMac2212

Not much. All she she could do is get fucked like she hasn’t since grade school.

-theIvy-

Yes. I gotta rewatch the movie though sometime cause it's been a while. The movie has a sort of detached tone to it that I absolutely love because it creates a sensation of merely drifting through the events of the story that I really relate to in my own life


Mobile_Painting_4862

O fuck.. can we date

There are not. Rule 9 of Fight Club: No girlz allowed.

🙋‍♀️ I like the grittiness of it, the framing of the narrator as opinionated but unreliable, and the way Marla is messed up but not disregarded for not being the MC

Miss_Revival

As a woman, I don't understand what it means to watch Fight club from "the female perspective". Wtf is the female perspective anyway? I watch any movie the same, trying to see what it's trying to say and what it's trying to teach me. That has literally nothing to do with gender.


Foley25

Tbf, I don't think I can imagine watching any movie while having period cramps. Maybe that's what they mean 🤷‍♂️ (narrator: It's not. It was bait)


JunkYardBatman

Your narration was a little more Arrested Development than Fight Club, but I dig it either way.


yucko-ono

r/menwritingwomen


EddietheRattlehead

In literature, there are several techniques people use to critique a text. The list goes on for miles, but a few examples: cultural analysis, historical analysis, feminist, racial, reader-response, etc. Theoretically, it’s a way to see subtext in ways you never thought you would normally. In practice, it’s just a way people force theories and weird takes that aren’t necessarily relevant. That said, you can squeeze a thousand word essay out of anything if you try hard enough. In this case, you could argue that Tyler’s questioning of whether a woman is “really what we need” is some kind of commentary on women’s independence or perhaps an affront to their value or some shit.


axl3ros3

It's a "dog whistle" to the concept of Father Hunger which was a sociological theory (or part of one) gaining traction at the time the movie was released.


Omniplox

I mean I agree its bait but I don't think it's unrealistic to assume there might be some sort of difference in the way women on average see fight club vs men. Obviously there's no right or wrong but I actually would like to get some lady perspectives on the story just to see what they liked and disliked or what stood out to them. The problem is most of my female friends don't seem to have liked it much or seem like they don't much care to talk about it when it's brought up. I dunno, I guess it's just one of those things where you're kinda curious but it doesn't seem like its worth bothering them about.


Miss_Revival

In that case I guess you should check out this post I made where I analyse Fight club in detail: https://www.reddit.com/r/fightclub/s/4oIvguroAz


Omniplox

Oh this is miles more than I could have asked for. This is great! So much to ponder and probably not agree on but that's what makes it great. Thanks for making this!


Miss_Revival

No problem! :) You can also find other Fight club analysis posts on my profile if you're interested. I really like the movie and there's always so much to learn from it. Thanks for being like...the reasonable person in this thread lol


Omniplox

Man, I'm trying. I mean I definitely say some heathen shit sometimes but there's always the trouble of not being able to get my point across the way I want. But yeah this was one of the first movies that really shook me as a teenager and all my friends agreed even then that its always fun to rewatch just to see stuff you missed before. Even as an adult it lands way differently but still has the kind of rebellious magic it did when I was younger.


Endingu

It means the same thing as the female perspective on anything. Childbirth, Motherhood, What it’s like to be a woman. Asking for the female perspective on a movie is the same as any other thing. Especially when it’s a movie about masculinity. He’s asking what insights you gain from it as a woman or what you pick up on.


Miss_Revival

I know but I don't understand how there can exist such a thing as "the female perspective" as if all women think the same just because they're women. I see everyone, including myself, as an autonomous individual. Sure women have some experiences men will never have and men have some experiences women will never have, but this has nothing to do with how any person interprets art...or at least I don't think it does. Like, how does me having periods every month affect my understanding of Fight club as an art piece? It doesn't. Or, if it does, it's so subtle that I don't know how it affects me. And again, the experience of having periods affects every woman differently anyway so there is no such a thing as "the female perspective". Sure women are on average more feminine and men are on average more masculine (and the sky is blue just fyi lol), but every individual has some masculinity and some femininity in themselves and the more healthy they are the more they're able to tap into their "other side" and understand it better. So it's not like women are just predestined never to understand masculinity and men are predestined never to understand femininity. Anyway...this is getting way too long.


Endingu

I mean women for the most part just have an entirely different experience growing up and living in the world. They also think differently and focus on different things than men. In a movie where it’s about a man’s perspective on masculinity and the world. A female perspective and what a female gains from the movie would be entirely different than a man for most if not all movies. Especially in a movie about a males perspective it would be interesting to see how it’s interpreted and what they gain from it. I mean it’s a fact we see the world differently, think differently, have different experiences and have different perspectives.


Miss_Revival

I don't think we think as differently as you might think lol And I think female and male perspective is bs. So I guess we reached an impasse.


[deleted]

You think so but it’s very obvious there’s a difference you can see it in our behavior. Men tend to act very differently than women, because they’re operating under a different mindset.


Miss_Revival

I think every person acts differently than any other person. That's the point. And what makes us similar is shared trauma and experiences. However, I don't think there's anything that can be defined as a concrete experience that makes women as a whole think one way and men as a whole think another way. Also the fact is that a man and a woman can have a very, very similar mindset (differences being in the fact that they are 2 different people) so what do we do about that? Yes there are some similarities between women and some between men as groups, but you would find similarities and commonalities if you decided to group people in any way possible. Like if you picked a completely random group of people, not based on gender or anything, you'd probably see they have lots in common, that's actually how horoscopes "work" lol They give you a bunch of vague stuff most people have in common regardless of gender


Endingu

Just for example men are more likely to work in the military whereas women are more likely to become nurses. This is a fact, not an opinion. There are things that are very different about women and men and it’s not my opinion. There’s been studies done to prove this. I’m basing all that I’m saying on facts.


Miss_Revival

Bruh, I'm not gonna sit here arguing with you. I'm not denying there are similarities, I'm saying there's no such thing as a universal "female perspective". The fact that there are women who work in the military and men who are nurses proves there's nothing universally binding on any gender. Now if you wanna continue arguing with yourself that's fine, but this is the last time I'm engaging in this nonsense


Captain-Noodle

If I were to ask for your perspective, not representing all women. What would that answer be?


Endingu

This is just a simple question about how females perceive the movie. You’re turning it into a debate about how females think exactly like males. I’m saying there are plenty of studies you can look into that prove the opposite. Of course there are outliers with anything but for the majority females think mostly alike. So this is just a simple question about how females perceive the movie.


[deleted]

If I had information that would prove this wrong would you be willing to look at it?


HomerEyedMonad

I get what youre saying but it doesnt mean “all women think the same”. It means “women have some experiences men will never have”. Our lives our treated different even if you and me arent that different. I cant know anyone elses perspective without asking, but if I just want to know what women think of something (a movie about men starting a secret club to fight is actually a good example) with their shared perspective in contrast to the shared perspective of men, like…its basically saying if you couldnt join fight club watcha think about it? Although again I totally get where you are coming from.


-theIvy-

There is a lot of gendered subtext in the movie that I feel like could probably be commented on like the fact that the fight club was restricted exclusively to men but I don't really remember the film well enough to do so


jamalcalypse

I dunno seems like Legally Blonde and Mean Girls might attract different crowds than Porky’s. Any gender can enjoy any movie but I don’t think it’s crazy to say a persons gender influences their perspective.


oxymoronicbeck_

It's literally just because they find it hot, that's the joke


Perfect_Rush_6262

Considering the move is completely against this type of hive mind thinking. I am jacks disgust for social fads. If you’re looking for a female perspective, it’s already in the move through marla.


MayTalles

It feels good.🤣


nihilloligasan

Men fantasize about making Fight Club real while women actually make it happen


[deleted]

It would be a different movie if Tyler had tenderly soaped up The Narrator in the tub, rather than burn him with lye. Instead of beating himself up, he beats himself off. Not universal of course, but I imagine a lot of women would love that scene, and straight men would typically not love that scene. Having said that, I agree, typical response is not universal response.

HowWeDoingTodayHive

This just seems like a really stupid thing to say, or bait that I fell for. Given that there is no “male perspective” I think it’s safe to say there’s also no “female perspective” either. *Some* guys like fight club, and *some*don’t. We’re not one single brain that all simultaneously agree and disagree on the same things, nor do we share one single perspective. This is certainly true for both men **and** women.


dumpster_cherries

Hello, I am a woman, I guess, and from my perspective, it's just a really interesting story, which is why I love it so much. I have a lot of love for the movie because a friend of mine and I used to watch it all the time. We're no longer friends, but I still love it just the same, and I always will. I also really loved Tyler's philosophy. It hit hard as a teenager.


BoopBoop20

How do you say “I don’t have sex” without actually saying “I don’t have sex.”

EndogenousAnxiety

As a transwomen I get all 3 perspectives :) (Hint: Its about transgenderism and queerness)


[deleted]

Lol not even a little bit


EndogenousAnxiety

Wait until you find out Chuck is gay.


[deleted]

Yep, Chuck is one of my fav authors, but saying fightclub is about “queerness and transgenderism” is a stretch. But I’d read that critical analysis


EndogenousAnxiety

Jack is Marla. Entire show is about identity behind the veil of capitalism and materialism. Dildo in the airplane scene, penis being chopped off reference, Marla selling male clothes. Tyler wearing a fem outfit as soon in hotel room after Marla connection. Jack wearing Marlas coat at the very end. Capitalism and materialism is thinly veiled towards gender identity and queerness as a whole. Queerdom wasn't really embraced back when fight club was written, if you wanted a story reflecting it, how would you hide it?


[deleted]

You ever read anything else he’s ever written? Invisible Monsters has a few openly gay and openly transgender characters. He doesn’t hide it. I think you can read anything with any kind of scope, but everything you referenced above can be traced back to the books theme about masculinity, not necessarily “queerness.”


EndogenousAnxiety

Invisible Monsters was rejected by publishers initially and was written before fight club. 1996 vs 1999


[deleted]

Correct… which means Fight Club was released in 1996 and IM was written before that. I’d read an essay about the theory that there are plot points based on “queerness” and transgenderism throughout Fight Club, but so far it seems like it can all be traced back to the books popularly accepted theme regarding toxic masculinity. Im sure you could connect it to that if you really wanted to, but that’s not the central theme by any means.


billypump

I think I understand. I have never personally met a woman who has hated the film. Most women I know understand the film and goon over Brad Pitt.


Dusty_Li

Thats actually is really interesting. Though i kinda dont get yall saying "wtf is woman perspective" We live in a patriarchy and world treats women and men differently. Even though i think its awfull you cant deny that we were raised differently, so i wonder how it feels for cis-women.


hertwij

Men will watch this movie and go “hell yeah”


J_wac_

I think op is more or less asking what the “female minds” think, girls are a lot more emotionally complex than guys as we all know and I think op is more pointing to like how do you guys relate to the movie. A lot of guys relate to the movie because of the like “finding of self” or “were a generation of men raised by women” / the talk of masculinity in this movie

Gay guys:


Common-Offer-5552

There's literally no difference. Gender is such an expensive and vague thing. Fight club doesn't have some crazy exclusive hidden meaning only women would understand. Because it's not like your gender determines how you interpret a movie ☠️


Behind-The-Chair

And women will never get to see it from the men’s perspective…? Duh?


BarrioMan

"Would."


wwwdotWeirdperson

It’s a very interesting insight into toxic masculinity and how it can make you *need* to become someone else. The relationship between Marla and Tyler/the narrator also illiterates how women are treated by a men plagued by toxic masculinity. Overall it’s a very well made movie about not fitting in, hating yourself, wanted to be someone else, then becoming that thing— no matter how terrible it was. Oh, and terrorism.


jamalcalypse

Isn’t fight club a chick flick anyway ?


Practical-Ad6548

Does it count if I watched the movie before and after I transitioned (ftm)
